ISIS holds data on the World Soil Reference Collection including over 950 monoliths from over 74 countries with detailed soil profile and environmental data. The collection provides a scientific reference for the legend of the FAO_UNESCO Soil Map of the World and internation soil classification system that evolved from it, the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB) and other international systems (USDA Soil Taxonomy). Users currently have access to site data (60 attributes on location, geology, landform, soil surface properties, hydrology, land-use, vegetation and climate) and soil data (soil profile description according to the FAO Guidelines; 100 physical, chemical and mineralogical attributes; and attributes for classification in the FAO-Unesco Legend (1974), the Revised FAO-Unesco Legend (1988), World Reference Base for Soil Resources (all versions), USDA Soil Taxonomy, and a national classification system, as available). ISRIC will continue to enlarge its soil reference collection. The collection was built up to show representative examples of the units distinguished in the legend of the soil map of the world. These reference profiles – or soil monoliths - would be well documented and analysed and therewith be an example and a resource for education, correlation and research Stephan Mantel ISRIC - World Soil Information Custodian World Soil Museum PO Box 353 Wageningen 6700AJ Netherlands Stephan.Mantel@isric.org https://wsm.isric.org https://isric.euwest01.umbraco.io//media/yzhlkf0w/dsc_0704.jpg?quality=75&rxy=0.5%2C0.5 monolith world reference base Soil science Stratum Global Region Open Database License (ODbl) v1.0 10 geoscientificInformation 1950-01-01 2015-12-01 -180.00 180.00 -56.00 84.00 GraphQL https://graphql.isric.org/isis/graphql download graphql endpoint https://graphql.isric.org/isis/graphiql WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link User interface User interface to facilitate queries to the graphql endpoint https://isis.isric.org WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Website Website to browse the collection http://isis.isric.org
